Hello,

You have to excuse me if this is a silly question. But as you might have =
guessed I'm new to vim.

I've defined a variable s:nfile and want to use it in the following =
expression.

!stylus < '%:p' > s:nfile

This doesn't work and really runs !stylus < whatever_is_the_current_file =
> s:nfile.

I've tried everything from echo s:nfile to let s:nfile within the =
expression.

Thanks in advance,

Jonas Geiregat.
